Found another episode! This one sounds very interesting all about the wine country in N. Baja!!
Episode 1512
synopsis:
Wines of the Desert
The stereotypical images of Mexico's Baja California include sun-drenched beaches, bizarre spiny plants, and remote dusty pueblos. But Baja is full of
surprises. Known for its tequila and cerveza, the country's burgeoning wine industry may someday give these traditional beverages stiff competition as
it starts to draw international recognition. Host David Yetman is joined by Bill Beezley, acting head of The University of Arizona Latin American
Studies department and historian, for a tour of the region's vineyards. They search for the origins of this growing interest in wine-making, from the
very large growers and producers to wine co-ops, where anyone can join in the fun.
